Subsidies you may qualify for
Eastern Bay insulation – homes
If you live within the Eastern Bay of Plenty region and your home was built before 1977, you may qualify for a subsidy to have insulation installed by Energy Options. If you are eligible to hold a Community Services Card, the subsidy will cover the full cost. If you don’t have a Card, the subsidy will be 50% of the total cost.
There are no hidden catches to this subsidy: the project is co-funded by the EASTERN BAY ENERGY TRUST and EECA. To find out more, please CONTACT US.
